Quote of the Day Challenge Three

My final quote challenge post!

I like this quote by Hans Christian Anderson, who wrote many famous fairytales like "The Little Mermaid" and "The Snow Queen," which are two stories very dear to my heart. The picture is from Pinterest:

Have a magical day in your fairytale life, everybody!

Quote of the Day Challenge Two

Hello again! A while ago MyLittleMegara was on this crazy photo editing kick where she decided she wanted to make a picture of a bunch of Disney Princesses and Proverbs 31. I really liked the verse she chose and decided to use part of it as my second quote!

It's so important to remember that challenges can be overcome, even very difficult ones. I love that fairy tales show this... no matter how long it takes, things will turn out for the best. I fully believe that.

January 10, 2016

The new year started with lots of laughter from the humans and quite a few tears. They had discovered something called "Doctor Who," and they seemed to be having very strong emotions about it. I had discovered something, as well - Disney Fairies books. A set of beautifully illustrated books about Tinker Bell's friends? Yes please! I was in the middle of a book about Vidia, a fast flying fairy, when I heard loud singing.

I knew it wasn't MyLittleMegara's voice, so I decided to check it out.

Putting my book down, I walked in the direction of the noise.

"Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine..."

It's the healing incantation from Tangled, I thought. Whoever was singing had a good voice. She actually sounded like Mandy Moore, who voices Rapunzel in the movie! When the singer got to the line "save what has been lost," I could see her. Not only did she sound like Rapunzel - she looked like her, too.

When she finished her song, I waved. "Hello!" I exclaimed.

The Rapunzel doll started. "Oh! Hello."

"I'm Anna," I smiled.

"I'm Rapunzel."

"Are you new here?"

"Yes! I've only been here for a few months."

"A few months? And you haven't met anybody yet?"

"Well, no," Rapunzel began to explain.

"You see, I was one of MyLittleMegara's review dolls. The process of getting all of those pictures of my articulation and such took a lot longer than she was expecting. After that was done, I felt a bit shy. I was a little tired of having all of the attention on me, and I wasn't sure what kind of dolls were here. Not to mention that MyLittleMegara has been very busy lately so she didn't introduce me to anyone."

I didn't think watching hours and hours of British television counted as busy, but I kept that to myself.

"Well, I'm glad to meet you! I only wish we could've met sooner. The dolls here are very nice. I think you'll fit right in." I reassured Rapunzel.

"I'm glad to hear it. What's your story?"

I'll admit I was a little surprised by the frankness of her question, but I found that I was happy to share. I filled her in on the basics of how long I'd been here, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven, and what I liked to do. When I told her I liked to read, she got very excited.

"Have you read any of the Disney Fairies books? I've been reading them while I've been down here."

"Yes, actually, I'm in the middle of one right now! Vidia and the Fairy Crown."

"Oh, that's one of my favorites! I love the illustrations."

"Do you want to read it with me?"

Rapunzel beamed.

I think I may have made a new friend. It will be very nice to not be the only girl in our group for a change! I'm outnumbered 3 to 1!

December 27, 2015

My first Christmas in MyLittleMegara's house came and went in a cloud of beautiful music and bright colors. I heard a story about a baby boy who saved the world and even though I didn't completely understand it, Christmas was an absolutely beautiful occurrence. But it had to end. After all, if Christmas were all year 'round, we would stop seeing it as special. A couple of days after Christmas, MyLittleMegara decided to watch Frozen. Again. Since Kristoff and I were downstairs by the TV anyway, we decided to watch too.

Even though I've seen my movie countless times, I still love the feeling I get watching it. It has such a positive message of hope, no matter how hard it may get.

This time watching it was different, though. Kristoff had never seen it before, and I found myself watching it through his eyes. I think he enjoyed it. However, when a half-frozen Anna began crossing the fjords to find her sister, he did something a little strange.

I suppose that what he did really wasn't that strange. Most friends do this sort of thing. After all, that's what we are: good friends. Still, when Kristoff put his arm around me, I found it difficult to focus on anything other than the solid, warm presence at my back.

From there on, the movie progressed. Anna and Elsa learned how to save the day with their sisterly love and the kingdom went back to normal. Happy music played. Suddenly, Anna and Kristoff ran on wearing outfits nearly identical to what we were wearing. They were holding hands and smiling.

Without warning, Kristoff got up. "I forgot to feed Sven," he mumbled.

"Oh, okay," I smiled at him. "Bye!"

But he was already gone. Typical.
